There’s nothing better than bundling up in bed on a cold winter day to feel like — as the great Homer Simpson once said — a warm, toasty cinnamon bun. Wrapping yourself in a few blankets is one way to do it, but even better? Using a heated blanket. It’s cold out for most of the nation, so it’s a good thing Target has several on sale this week at a whopping 40% off. We found a deal that can save you big bucks on three of Brookstone’s most popular remote control (and machine-washable!) heated blankets: the Cozy Throw, the even softer Coziest Throw and the Heated Blanket, which fits mattress sizes twin, full/queen and king. Each heated cover features a safety auto shutoff and four cozy temperature settings to keep you snug all day.

Brookstone’s Cozy Throw is the brand’s most basic heated blanket, measuring 50 x 60 inches and brushed with silky-smooth polyester. It has a controller built into the right corner of its body, and all it takes to turn it on is a few button presses to cycle through its temperature settings. The Coziest Throw shares the features mentioned above, but its polyester feels premium on the skin, and is available in velvet, a rich faux fur or a cozy cable-knit. Both models come in winter-ready patterns and prints.

The brand’s Heated Blanket, however, comes in different mattress sizes: twin, full/queen and king, measuring 62 x 84 inches, 84 x 90 inches and 100 x 90 inches, respectively. Rather than having its control built right into the blanket, this one features a corded controller with 10 temperature settings and an adjustable timer. The full/queen and king sizes also have dual temperature zones, so if you sleep with a partner, you can adjust the blanket’s temperature as you’d like.

All blankets are machine-washable, so long as you unplug all electrical pieces before tossing them in a wash cycle, of course.

If you’re unsure which cover to grab, we recommend the Heated Blanket based on its numerous positive user reviews. Many say that it heats up evenly and doesn’t feature any cold spots, and it’s perfect for reading or cozying up before bed.

“So glad I bought this,” says a reviewer named K. “Works great, heats up quickly and is super soft. […]I’ve been using this daily for weeks now with no issues. I love the control pad and the timer, too.”

“So glad I bought this. Works great, heats up quickly, and is super soft. I bought a heated blanket a few years ago that randomly stopped working so I was hesitant to buy another one but I’ve been using this daily for weeks now with no issues. Love the control pad and the timer too. I usually have to use several blankets while sleeping because I run so cold, but I can use this blanket by itself and stay nice and toasty!” — K

“This heated up in like 1 second! I love that! I got the dark gray texture one because I like the thicker fur. Looks more luxious and feels warmer. However the fur is in strips and between the strips is some thin material, which means cold air will seep through than it would with the gray color which is solid material throughout. I’m so upset about this!! I was in love!! If your body is half out of the blanket it feels like and nice warm on high. If you’re laying all the way under it’s pretty hot. Which is exactly what I’ll need this winter. The remote cord is super long which is also great! I love this and might exchange this for the regular gray color instead of the gray texture because of the strips. I’ll think about it. But I’ll def use the brookstone heated blanket. I’ll attach a pic of the strips I’m talking about. Faux fur coats also have this strip. =)” — DropDeadAwesome

“I’ve always wanted one of these blankets. They’re so cozy and necessary for me in the colder months because the heat in my apartment is controlled by my building so sometimes I feel cold but cannot turn on the heat. In those cases I use this electric blankets to keep me warm and cozy. They work great for me to help with back pain etc.” — Kolbrun Rolans

“I recently purchased the Brookstone Cozy Heated Queen with Dual Temp Zones, and I’m beyond impressed. This heated blanket has completely transformed my sleep experience. The dual temperature zones are a fantastic feature, allowing my partner and me to each customize our side of the bed to our preferred warmth level—no more arguing over the thermostat! The heat settings are easy to control, with multiple options to suit any preference, from a gentle warmth to a toasty, cozy feel. I also love that it heats up quickly and maintains an even, consistent temperature throughout the night. The material is incredibly soft and feels luxurious against the skin, and the blanket itself is lightweight but substantial enough to provide a comforting, weighted feel. The automatic shutoff feature gives peace of mind, especially for someone like me who tends to fall asleep quickly. The quality of the stitching and the overall construction feels very durable, so I expect this to last for years. It’s also machine washable, which is a huge plus for convenience and maintenance. If you’re looking for a heated blanket that offers personalized comfort, warmth, and high-quality construction, I highly recommend the Brookstone Cozy Heated Queen with Dual Temp Zones. It’s definitely worth the investment for a better night’s sleep!” — mph6779_976513

“This is my first heated blanket and so far I’m satisfied. The blanket is soft and fluffy. It looks good and feels nice on skin. It’s warm and toasty with the heat on. The dual controls are particularly good if two people sharing the blanket prefer different heat settings. The blanket doesn’t get uncomfortably hot and the shutoff timer is useful. I was a bit taken aback by the size of the dual controls. It’s big in my opinion but I haven’t tried other heated blankets and can’t compare.” — abc1111_836372
